Maksim and Masha Kovalyov, who work in the Netherlands, decide to treat themselves and their parents to a holiday in Turkey. There, the Budko family realise that Yuri and Olga have separated, but they are carefully hiding this from their children and in-laws. A special operation to save the Kovalyovs’ marriage begins. It unfolds in Crimea, where both families travel to follow Zhenya, who has been sent by her parents on holiday to ‘Artek’. Upon arrival, the Budkos realise that Crimea is not a cheap place and suggest to the Kovalyovs that they open a hotel in the house provided for the in-laws by Maxim’s friend from abroad. The Kovalyovs, who were initially against the idea, eventually joined the ‘common cause’ with enthusiasm.

The Budko-Kovalyovs’ business adventures will bring them new friends and acquaintances, and force them to fend off a rival’s schemes and a gangster ‘raid’. The families will manage to successfully host Olya’s parents, who have come to visit their daughter and son-in-law on an inspection visit, and to weather the turbulent arrival and departure of the womaniser and card-sharp, who also happens to be their colleague, Yuri Anatolyevich San Sanych Berkovich. The matchmakers will also manage to help the wayward Mitya and the shrewish Larisa sort out their personal lives, overcome Valya’s insatiable passion for network marketing, outwit a seasoned ‘cat’ at the casino, and win an international hotel competition. And most importantly, to reconcile Olya and Yura.
